[Gambas-user] how to start a file?

[Robert JUHASZ]

Hi,

I mean to let the user to attach a file in run time (I save the link) and
let him run the file. Just I don't know how open that file using the
link (not for my gambas application but just for the user with the default
program of the "attached" file).

In VBA I used "ShellExecute" for running programs, files or following links.
I just would need the same.

Thanks,
Robi
